Solitaire Till Dawn 1.0 was first released in 1991! That original version had all of nine games, and ran in a mind-boggling 16 colors, if you could afford one of the new, expensive Macintosh II color-capable computers! But if all you had was a Macintosh Plus with a tiny, black-and-white screen, you could still run Solitaire Till Dawn! If you scroll on down, you can see some screen shots and history of Solitaire Till Dawn over its fifteen years. But right now we'd like to introduce:

We've always concentrated on quality over quantity in Solitaire Till Dawn, so we don't have as many included games as some of “those other” solitaires. But with 15 years to draw on, we can offer quality and quality. Version 1.5 has a full 100 games!

The new games are:

• Double Scorpion, a two-deck version of the classic Scorpion.
• Intelligence, which lives up to its name by rewarding clever play.
• Klondike Holdout, a clever new variant of Klondike that adds two 'cells' like the ones in Free Cell.
• Penguin, an unusual member of the Free Cell family.
• Tournament, a challenging, rewarding, and addictive double-deck game.

Here's how it looked on a Mac Plus:

With these changes, sales of Solitaire Till Dawn increased by a factor of ten or more!

We added still more games, until the classic version topped out at 40 different solitaires. These included the great favorite Grandma's Game, which (to this day, as far as we know) has never been offered by any other computer solitaire; and the games Manx and Tabby Cat which were created expressly for Solitaire Till Dawn.

And we added another feature we haven't seen in other solitaires: the popular Magnetic Mouse. This unique feature allows nearly clickless play. It was intended as a relief for repetitive-strain sufferers, but our customers now tell us they love it because they can play on their laptops in bed without making clicking noises to disturb a sleeping spouse!

In September 1997, MacAddict Magazine rated Solitaire Till Dawn as “Freakin' Awesome!”

Solitaire Till Dawn X started with 51 games, and again including some (such as 30 Thieves) designed just for STDX. But better than that, the "X 1.0" release featured all-new graphics, including windows that (at last!) could be as large as the largest monitor, and cards that would resize to fit the largest (or smallest!) window.

To handle our ever-lengthening list of games, the new Game Chooser window not only lets you scroll easily through all the games; it also shows you a capsule description of each game, lets you access the full rules, and even lets you filter the list down to specific types of games. Of course, the fastest way to choose a favorite game is still to pick it from a short menu, so we keep a menu of "Favorites" in the toolbar, and we let you decide which games should be there.

Then later in 2004, version 1.4 provided 85 games and the ability to cheat! “Three ways to cheat can help you to salvage an immoral victory from a stuck game!” (Shhh... we won't tell anybody if you won't!)

In December 2004, Macworld Magazine's Dan Frakes gave Solitaire Till Dawn X a rating of in his Mac Gems column.
